hey i was wondering if the starter gun from columbia coatings is any good? i just want something to get started powdercoating with..do some of my stuff and try to make a lil money...but if its a piece of crap then im not gonna get it

The only thing i dont like about them is i cant get all the black out. And every color i do has some black specs in it.

I have that gun too and I don't even use it any more, accept for blowing Hi-temp powders that are silicone based. Like K_Fulk said its a ****** to clean. It also wastes an arse load of powder compared to the hot coat Pro1100. If I was to reccomend a starter gun I would say buy the hot coat hobby gun. Then once your hooked and makin' money, buy the Pro1100. You'll wonder why you didnt buy it in the first place

I bought a oven at the thrift store for 20 bucks works ok for what i do. Give the hotcoat gun from eastwood a try it might be a lil better.
